{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Former "Deadliest Catch" star Jake Harris was reportedly arrested for another DUI after previously landing himself behind bars in 2019.
Harris appeared on the hit Discovery series about Alaskan crab fishermen until 2012. Many fans of the hit TV series may remember Jake as the son of the late Captain Phil Harris. Phil died in 2010 of an apparent stroke. Harris’ brother, Josh, still appears on the show as captain of the family ship, the Cornelia Marie.
A representative for the Washington State Patrol confirmed to Fox News that Harris, 35, was arrested and booked for Felony DUI, Driving while license revoked/suspended 1st degree and driving without an ignition interlock when required

When police spoke with him, they learned that his license had been revoked. In addition, he is required to have an ignition interlocking device installed in his car as a condition of his previous arrest for DUI in 2019. Harris didn’t have the device in the car and explained to police it was because he had borrowed the vehicle from a friend.
